US Media Hiding the Truth About the Assassination of Ambassador Christopher Stevens

Eric Ross, Ph.D.posted on 9/14/2012 last updated 9/24/2012

After two weeks passed since the bloody attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11/2012, under the relentless pressure from the alternative media, such as this website, the U.S. media and to some degree the U.S. officials, began to reluctantly admit the truth, which they previously denied.

It all started with a report in the UK's Independent, a highly respected newspaper. Leaning to the left politically, but not self-righteously modern liberal, it is known for taking a classical liberal, pro-market stance on economic issues, and its truth-seeking, independent coverage of the news.

Based on the article the Indeoendent published immediately after the attck, we have to conclude that the U.S. media has deliberately concealed and obfuscated several important facts about the attacks on the US Embassies in the Middle East on 9/11/2012. An article in the Independent, quoting U.S. officials began to reveal the facts that the U.S. media refused to cover.

Hillary's postmortem at the Congressional testimony on Janury-24, 2013: What difference does it make? (regarding the White House and State Department's foreknowledge of the impending attack on the Ambassador Stevens.) President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, UN Ambassador Susan Rice. All in lock-step in lies about an "anti-Islamic video" allegedly leading to "demonstrations"... with well-coordinated mortar fire and direct attacks with machine guns and RPG's. WHO MADE THE DECISION TO LIE...AND WHY? WHERE'S NBC? ABC? CBS? FOX? NEW YORK TIMES? WASHINGTON POST? TIME?

The facts U.S. media concealed: Monumental Incompetence of the U.S. State Department

1) The U.S. media reported the deaths of the U.S. Ambassador to Libia and three other men. What they concealed was that eight (8) Americans, some from the military, were wounded in the attack, which also claimed the lives of Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, an information officer, and two guards, former U.S. Navy Seals

2) U.S. State Department had advance information on the upcoming attacks, and did nothing to warn diplomats and heighten security of the U.S. facilities in the Middle East.:

"According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted."

The State Department’s inaction that resulted in deaths of the US diplomats and personnel, demonstrates Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s ineptitude ― she should be sacked immediately.

What's more:

3) American intelligence officials and international anti-terrorism experts believe the attack was planned, massive Cairo "protests" with unarmed assault on the U.S. Embassy acting as a diversion. The location of Chris Stevens had been leaked to the heavily-armed attackers in Libya. His visit to Benghazi, where he and his staff died, was confidential. The attack may have have resulted from a serious and continuing security breach, the Independent reports.

“An eight-strong American rescue team was sent from Tripoli and taken by troops under Captain Fathi al- Obeidi, of the February 17 Brigade, to the secret safe house to extract around 40 US staff. The building then came under fire from heavy weapons. "I don't know how they found the place to carry out the attack. It was planned, the accuracy with which the mortars hit us was too good for any ordinary revolutionaries," said Captain Obeidi. "It began to rain down on us, about six mortars fell directly on the path to the villa,” according to Independent.

This next attack came hours after the attack on the Consulate. American staffers along with Libyans had been evacuated to the safe house while a plane arrived from Tripoli with a joint U.S.-Libyan security group that was to fly them back to the capital, said Libya’s Deputy Interior Minister Wanis el-Sharef.

El-Sharef said the original plan was for a separate Libyan security unit to escort the evacuees to the airport. Instead, the joint unit went from the airport to the safe house, possibly because they were under the impression they were dealing with a hostage situation, he said. The militant attack coincided with the joint team's arrival at the safe house, he said.

President Barack Obama addresses the 67th session of the
United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 25, 2012.
Obama made a speech clearly pandering to Muslim Brothers:‘The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam’, six times falsely accusing an obscure
YouTube video, which nobody in the US cared to see,
to be the "cause" of "spontaneous demonstrations",
which according to him, caused death of Ambassador
Stevens and other brave Americans. We know that
Barack Hussein lied then, as he continues to hide now the
simple fact that it was a well-organized and
coordinated terrorist attack.

The fact that the attackers knew the safe house's location suggests a "spy" inside the security forces tipped off the militants, el-Sharef said. The precision mortar attack suggests well-trained military, rather than a rag-tag crowd of "protesters."

Sensitive documents have gone missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly secret location of the "safe house" in the city, where the staff had retreated, came under sustained mortar attack. Other such refuges across the country are no longer deemed "safe".

The Conspicuously Coordinated Media Coverage of the Official U.S. Response

When confronted with questions about the State Department’s inaction vis-à-vis advanced intelligence warning of threats against American security interests in the Middle East, the U.S. officials went on a full-scale cover up, playing with semantics. Shawn Turner, spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, emailed: “

This is absolutely wrong. We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.”

This response has a “lie” written all over it: the fact that the warning did not name Benghazi specifically, did not strip the administration of their responsibility to alert diplomats everywhere in the Middle East. Not only did they shirk their duty to protect American lives, they now engage in habitual demagogy to conceal their bureaucratic negligence and indifference. The sequestration budgetary report released by Obama just cut Embassy Security by $129 million. Never mind the deaths of four American servicemen
―
in view of the budgetary cuts it was politically-incorrect for the Obama's State Department to take heed of the reports of security threats.

The main media coverage in the U.S. of the related news was no less bizarre: they reported "spontaneous" protests in the Middle East over the controversial Islam film, which Americans never heard of before, which never aired anywhere except a short clip on YouTube. ― "Spontaneous" protests? On the 11-th anniversary of 9/11? Really? How come only foreign newspapers ― British, Russian, German ― mention the fact of the advanced warning to the State department?

Americans Glen A. Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone S. Woods were also killed in the attack on the consulate.

Doherty, 42, a native of Winchester, Mass., a former Navy SEAL and a decorated veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, worked as a security contractor at the US consulate in Benghazi.
Smith, an Air Force veteran, was an information management specialist for the State Department for 10 years in posts including Brussels, Baghdad, and Pretoria.

Woods, also a former Navy SEAL who served multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, has guarded American diplomatic personnel in dangerous posts from Central America to the Middle East since 2010.

‘‘They knew the danger, and they accepted it,’’ Obama said at a brief speech at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, where the four flag-wrapped coffins arrived. ― Did they, really? They probably did not accept the biggest danger of all ― the incompetence, negligence and indifference of the U.S. bureaucrats who effectively sacrificed the lives of these servicemen on the altar of political correctness.

The media is conspicuously too busy bashing Romney's comment on this major event, rather than admitting the obvious, let alone putting two and two together. Somebody had to respond, as the White House was silent for a long time. After all, occupation of the Embassy by "protesters" or anyone, has been an act of war, since the time immemorial.

Colossal Failure of Foreign Policy: Arming the Muslim Brotherhood to Their Teeth

President Obama welcomed the “Arab Spring” with open arms, apparently ignoring the simple fact that the “uprising” were fueled by the most radical Muslim organization, The Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. military aid to Egypt has been huge, standing at about $2 billion annually. The Government of Egypt, mostly the functionaries of the Muslim Brotherhood, derives its power and is propped by the Egyptian military. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood "government" is in possession of 1,200 M1A1 Abrams Battle tanks and at least 260 new advanced F-16C/D fighter aircraft. The final Egyptian F-16 under the contract with the US is to be delivered in 2013.

The U.S. taxpayers paid for Egypt's acquisition of 1,200
of this formidable weapons system, the M1A1 Abrams
Battle tanks, now under control of the Muslim
Brotherhood government of Egypt. Does it make Israel
safe? Is Obama readying Egypt to revisit the 1967
six-day war, where Israeli 800 old WW-2era tanks
confronted and defeated 2,500 Egyptian tanks
and the army, at least twice larger in numbers?

What Mr. Taxpayer must ask himself is why does the Obama’s administration arm Egypt’s Muslim Brothers to their teeth, and at out expense? Especially when half the people in America have to cope with the horrendous unemployment and financial hardship.

U.S. taxpayers also footed the bill
for the Egyptian military's
acquisition of over 260 of these
new advanced multi-
function fighter-jets, 2F-16C/D.

None of it is in the U.S. main media. They are too busy apologizing for the “vulgar and crude” film by an Egiptian Coptic Christian that allegedly offended the memory of Prophet Mohammed. They deliberately ignore the obvious signs of pre-planned Al Queda-style operation timed to the 11-th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on theWorld Trade Center. They are too busy finding faults with Governor Romney for being critical of the Obama Administration’s handling of the situation.

of military aid to Egypt a year.

Here's what Senator Lindsey Graham says about the Benghazi witnesses, apparently being intimidated by the White House into silence:

"I've had contact with some of the survivors. Their story is chilling. They feel afraid to tell it. It's important they come forward to tell their story," Graham told FOX News. "Some are back working for the government. Some are still injured. The bottom line is they feel that they can't come forth. They've been told to be quiet."

As for the murder of four U.S. service men and wounding of eight more, and burning down of the American Embassies around the Middle East, Obama's rhetoric shifted from calling these acts of war "spontaneous" to callously dismissing them as simply "bumps in the road": “But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places the one organizing principle has been Islam.” ( President Obama in an interview with “60 Minutes”, aired September-23, 2012).

Hillary Clinton Spent $770 Million of the U.S. Taxpayers' Money on Promotion of Fundamental Islam

The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clearly laid the blame for the attack on the obscure video clip on YoutTube, which had practically no viewers in the US, but suddenly attracted much traffic coming from Egypt on 09/10/2012. Hillary laid blame on this "despicable" video-clip, instead of admitting that there was a lapse in communication, lack of preparedness and vigilance in the State Department. Yet, U.S. intelligence officials suggest it was a well-planned terrorist attack, that would have taken place on 9/11/2012 regardless of the film, the film used as a pretext, while hardly anyone in the U.S. saw it. While protesters in Egypt, apparently unopposed (if not encouraged) by the authorities, were burning American flags, not only the Consulate was attacked in Benghazi, but also the safe house, as well as the rescue team en route from the airport to the safe house, the secret location of which was highly classified information. As a result,
eight more Americans were badly wounded. Not only did the attackers know the exact location of the safe house, but they also intercepted and attacked the rescuers.

To suggest that a well-coordinated attack of this magnitude, with the use of advanced intelligence and heavy weapons, including mortar, grenade and RPG rocket launchers was a result of "spontaneous" anger over a few minute long video clip, was indeed, ridiculous. A few days later, under the weight of evidence, the White House admitted it was a terrorist attack.

Post Scriptum

Sep-24, 2012, from RollCall.com and Congress.org:

Senators Call for Investigation into Libya Attacks

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called for Congress to investigate last week’s attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. This comes after a dispute about whether the acts that killed four Americans were premeditated.

Roll Call‘s Niels Lesniewksi reports:

“The Obama Administration’s insistence that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya resulted from a riot inspired by a film, rather than a planned and coordinated attack, defies common sense,” Graham said in a statement. “It is imperative that Congress conduct an investigation into this matter, as the two scenarios are vastly different in terms of scope and depth.”

U.S. officials have given conflicting statements on whether the attacks were a planned terrorist attack or the result of militants taking advantage of the chaos of a protest mob outside the consulate.

In addition to Graham, other Members of Congress have called for more information about the attack in Libya:

Sens. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Dan Coats (R-Ind.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton questioning the effectiveness of host-country security at the perimeter of embassies and consulates.

“While we laud reports that many Libyan security staff bravely fought to protect U.S. personnel in Benghazi, the incident raises the broader question of the adequacy of indigenous security forces in providing perimeter security, particularly in conflict and transitional countries,” they wrote.

Aides to President Barack Obama told reporters traveling with the president to Ohio that he continued to follow the developments in the Middle East, even as he made campaign trips. Read more on RollCall.com

The response from Hillary Clinton is the same response NYC AREA FBI ASAC John O'Neil met when he went to Yemen on the attack of the USS Cole. O'Neil discovered that OBL was the mastermind behind the USS Cole and Embassy bombing in Africa. He was thrown out of Yemen as Bodin (Yemen Ambassador) hated O'Neil.The Clinton Administration obstructed O'Neil from doing his job and caused 9/11 to occur. O'Neil had all the dots connected and was a mastermind himself in terrorism.O'Neil retired from the FBI out of disgust. He went on to become Head of Security at WTC where he was killed on 9/11.The President and Clinton MUST be held accountable.There are spies within the State Department and one could very well be her right hand woman who has family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and a sister organization.What have we put into office in this country?

Unfortunately, you nailed it. Romney is not very smart. All he has going for him is a shy smile and a good-looking wife.

That said, at least a deliberate destruction of America is not on his agenda, unlike Obama's, the Neo-Marxist. Obama appointed his Energy Secretary simply they both "think" that the fair price of gas is $7/gallon and oil -- $200/barrel. The reason? -- The Gramscian program of redistribution of wealth from the West to the third world countries, the Arab Sheikhs. So, Obama is getting out of his way to redistribute the wealth to his buddies in the Middle East and strongly believes that it is the right thing to do.

The goal of the UN Resolution 1618, promoted by Hillary Clinton is "the criminalisation of criticism of Islam." Hillary has a hidden agenda in promoting an idiotic idea that the riots against the U.S. Embassies were "provoked" by some obscure movie, which nobody in the U.S. ever saw.

The Egyptian Peddler of "Outrage" Who Sent the "Innocence of Muslims" Viral on the Egyptian TV:

<< The original trailer of Innocence of Muslims was posted to YouTube by Bacile in July, but never gained attention until last week when it was translated into Arabic and linked to by an Egyptian-American Copt Morris Sadek in an Arabic-language blog post. Around that same time, Koran-burning Florida Pastor Terry Jones began promoting the film to practically no effect in the U.S.

But it did gain the attention of a Glenn Beck-style TV pundit in Egypt: Sheikh Khalad Abdalla, a host on the Islamist satellite-TV station al-Nas. On Sept. 8, Abdullah lit the match that set this entire international incident in motion and broadcast an offensive clip of the trailer in which a man playing Muhammad calls a donkey "the first Muslim animal." >>

The Obama administration is considering the release to Egypt of the mastermind of WTC 1993 bombing. In a TV interview on CNN with Piers Morgan, the former attorney general who convicted the sheikh, said that Obama administration's denial is "eight and a half month pregnant" (read -- obviously false).
